It is high time for a @vox_dev catch up!! I am teaching our awesome @MITSloanFellows this summer in a short intensive class (for more on the Sloan Fellows MBA program see mitsloan.mit.edu/fellows/). Really fun & engaging class, loving it! But now time for a huge @vox_dev catch up
Before I do that remember as part of our 1 year anniversary, we launched an audio section, VoxDevTalks: voxdev.org/talks. Check it out! See the five short audios on how evidence is used in practice. More of these short “use of evidence” audios coming over the next weeks…
Super excited: this week @vox_dev we have a brand new series on the #US-#China#tradewar. This series was one of my favorites to curate - gonna be some cool articles & audio for it. Please tune in: voxdev.org
I guess the timing of this series couldn't be better!!
Tradition @MIT: a brand new #hack in celebration of #AvengersEndgame
The grand dome is turned into the #CaptainAmerica shield!! Cool!
Can I see this from somewhere in Cambridge without being in the air??
Have to say MIT hacks are one reason I love MIT!!
I even own this book:
One of my favorite @MIT hacks, #Nightwork has a beautiful color picture of it!
My amazing assistant (most efficient assistant ever): I won't be in tomorrow
Me: No worries, hope all is well?
My assistant: Taking my dog to his doggie day care entrance exam
Me: An entrance exam for doggie day care??!!
Me 4 hours later: An entrance exam for doggie day care??!!
Update: Melvin passed the entrance exam!! Apparently he did so well (I guess that is the right sign) on the placement exam that he got put in w/ the big dogs. John thinks Melvin is way too small to be in with the big dogs... so not sure he will be using the doggie day care...
Email from my assistant last weekend: He has tenure now, so don’t ask him to do any tricks.
Attached to the email: the picture below of Melvin the dog in my office
